DISQUS

Someone should turn this into a graphic that can be emailed around/posted on forums:

"John McCain - Change-iness You Can Trust*"

*Because John McCain does for Change what George Bush did for Truth

---

Not sure how'd you spell "Change-iness" though.

Preferably on top of one of a pictures of McCain with his shit-eating grin, giving a big thumbs up.

C'mon guys... do it.. for the children.

Wasn't this almost exactly like Robert Novak was acting before he was diagnosed with a brain tumour?

Shadow Governor? Seems Palin needs her husband to hold her hand.
He sits at meetings too.

Is this what America needs?

The vast majority of ARM's that are resetting now(and in the past few months) are people who took second and third mortgages on the equity in their homes. The banks knew that these were very risky loans. The people who took them, did they know that if the housing market fell that they would be twisting in the wind? Should banking regulation protect people from themselves? For every story of medical costs and genuine hardship, there is probably another of those who took the money and wen't on a cruise or bought crap they didn't need.

A mess from many different angles.

This is off topic and please forgive if posted before, but this link takes you to an Alaska blog site where the picture of the new VP pick is pretty scary.

Tks for the article. It is very disturbing to think that the woman, only a heart beat away from the Presidency, is not only unsuitable to be VP., she also has shown signs of being corrupt.

Bad Judgment Johnny boy.

Quote from Ms Thang Rodeo Queen Pillpoppin' Sugarmama Cindy McSame:

"Well I just bitch-slapped Johnny really hard this week....here he goes again...he started boinking me because Carol looked like shit....and I had all that brew money to throw around to become First Lady...so he dumped Carol for me and I got enough face lifts to raise the Titanic. Now the son of a bitch wants to dump me to boink this little kkkkristian ho' from Wasilla north bumfuck Alaska...and the bitch don't even run her own cabinet meetings up there....I heard the only thing bigger than her hooters are the cabbages in her Alaskan garden. Well possums I need to run...just like my fifty dollar mascara!"

McCains plan to privatize Social Security ties in nicely with this news. Someone ought to explain to the geezers who love McCain that when Repub-fascists say privatize, they really mean to get rid of it entirely and turn its assets over to those kindly humanitarians on Wall Street.

McKept and rich wife only own eight homes. It's Romney who has twelve. Please be accurate.

from some republican idiot:

"Lady, you should just be happy that 'the market' gives you the opportunity to get out from under your self inflicted debt by declaring bankruptcy. After all, WE didn't make you sick."

I would think if seniors no longer show up to vote, that would be to McCain's detriment. As a senior myself, but a life-long progressive, I say that that is good news. Get out the vote, you younger ones. The torch has been passed to you. Amen.

The sickest people in America are Republicans. Republicans are also the most morally bankrupt. Did I mention that I not only don't like Republicans, I don't even like anyone who likes a Republican.

" . . . To be fair to McCain, seniors don't really show up to vote anyway so this shouldn't present a problem." - Chris
===========================================================
I resent that type of blanket statement. This senior votes all the time and there are many more like myself who will make sure our vote goes for Obama! A person would be a fool to not vote in this very important election. Here's our choice; more of the same, more wars, more soaring deficits, more jobs shipped overseas, a bigger divide between "those who have, and those who don't", and an older man whose mind is being questioned about dementia with bouts of anger and flying off the handle that even those in his party do not want to see him as president leading us down the tubes as a country, or "change" a new day, hope, someone willing to show he has a spine against this toxic government to lead us out of this abyss and into the light for a chance at rebuilding this country.

The choice seems very simple to me, and many of us "older citizens" will do our part. Don't count us out yet.

Didn't see your post before I wrote mine (below), Butch.
Folks in their sixties and seventies do a whole lot of Dem Party volunteer work in my area.
Largest Democratic club in this county is in a big retirement village, and they are active on the phones and stuffing envelopes. And 65% of all voters are permanent absentee voters ("PAV"). That's to provide a paper trail and it's very popular here in California.
I'm 72 and do some voter registration, and I always encourage folks to be PAVs, and seniors like it especially.

Thank you for posting, I didn't want to be the lone voice commenting about this blanket statement. I'm sure Chris has information showing that many seniors do not vote, but I wonder what those reasons for not voting are? I am very plugged into the political arena and probably know more about these candidates than do many of the young who haven't registered to vote yet. Everyone's vote will count in this election and Obama has stirred the souls of all ages.

I hope we can stop the republicans from denying democratic citizens the right to vote with their silly rules voted in by their party to control another election. The way to get around them is to make sure everyone has registered to vote and to check and make sure they are not on some republican list that will deny them that basic right. It is that important. I'm 61 and I thank you for your participation in this process of making sure people are registered and getting out to vote.

A friend of mine who is eighty has probably registered more voters in this county than anyone. She takes her ironing board and registration blanks to the shopping centers everytime she has a spare hour or two She collars the young and old, gets them registered and gives them strict orders to show up at the polls. We're the second county north of SF (Sonoma) and voted 68% for John Kerry, and I think we may outdo that for Obama. Our voter reg. is 60/40 for Dems. 90% of Rethug local electeds have re-registered Dem because they can't get elected unless they are Dems.

Butch1 · 1 year ago

And that is only one person. ( besides yourself ) Just think what would happen if more people took the time to help get the vote out.

hawkseye · 1 year ago

I've been under the impression that seniors do vote.
What are the stats on that, Chris?
And if they don't now, they will when they get that McSame and Ms Bullwinkle want to privatize social security.

moreleesafer · 1 year ago

So, Mr.McCain. this is what it looks like when the economy is going well?

and Mr. Bush...We have no problems.



Mr.Graham, should these old people just stop whining and have a dirt sandwich to fill their bellies?
